minus-squareAlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·15 hours agoMy first tech job out of college was $55k. Average in my area for new grads at best is like $85k. My highest paying was $195k as a Senior and my average is probably $150k as a Senior / Lead. None of this was big tech though.
minus-squarepeoplebeproblems@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·14 minutes agoYeah I made $51k out of college. My first software job I made $68k? Granted Im at $150k after all that time, but still. Dang yo you know?
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·53 minutes agoYeah, I’m more-or-less the same. Outside of Silicon Valley, Seattle, and a few other big metros, tech pay is good, but not amazing. I know what I’d have to do to get $200k+, but I’m unwilling to (crazy hours, move to SF, etc).
